Splendid spring returns

"On my way here, I saw that the wild chrysanthemums outside Qingliang Pavilion were all in bloom. I thought they would bloom before the Mid-Autumn Festival. These flowers really have spiritual powers. How do they know that their own solar term has arrived?"

As soon as Aunt Gu entered the Qingliang Courtyard, she saw Xin Nian watering several pots of chrysanthemums in the yard. She smiled and said, "You haven't seen any movement in these pots yet? It seems that they will be late for the Mid-Autumn Festival."

Xin Nian smiled and said: "Although it can't catch up with the Mid-Autumn Festival, these pots of mine are famous for their long flowering period and cold resistance. Look at this pot of yellow hydrangea, if it is moved indoors in late autumn, it will bloom until winter. "

Aunt Gu fanned her fan and sighed: "This summer is extremely hot, and the autumn tiger is still showing off its power. I think it's the Mid-Autumn Festival, so it should be cooler."

"Of course." Xin Nian put away the kettle and turned to look at Aunt Gu: "Tell me, is there anything strange happening in the backyard? Earlier you said that my aunt has a warehouse and is generous with money, and half of the servants in the house are attached to her. After everything has passed, I guess with my grandma’s temperament, she may not be willing to give up. Has she done anything these days?”

"Don't tell me, it really hasn't happened." Aunt Gu accompanied Xin Nian back to the room. Newly rewarded? I’ve never drank it before.”

"Yes, I just ordered it to be delivered yesterday. I am drinking Longjing tea which is not as good as the old one. If you like it, you can take it."

"That's good." Aunt Gu smiled and said, "This tastes better to me than Longjing. If you don't like it, just give me an advantage."

Xin Nian called Hong Xiu in and said to her: "Pack up the two new cans of tea we got yesterday and bring them to Aunt Gu when she leaves."

Hongxiu agreed and went, Xin Nianfang frowned and said: "My aunt is getting more and more arrogant. How can our grandma tolerate her temperament silently? Why do I not believe it so much?"

"I don't believe it either, but her people have really died down in the past two days. Previously, it was clear that the two sides were capable of fighting each other."

Xin Nian knocked on the table and murmured: "Is this really the case? Aren't grandma afraid that the people who follow her will be discouraged? She used to care about these things the most."

Aunt Gu shook her head and said: "I don't know how she changed her temper. Yes, her mother celebrated her birthday a few days ago, and she went back..."

Before he could finish speaking, Xin Nian slapped the table and said with a smile: "That's it. Let me just say, grandma is not so scheming. Now it seems that she should have returned to her parents' home, or her mother, or something else." People, analyze the pros and cons for her, so she can be reborn."

"So awesome?" Gu Auntie curled her lips: "Why can't I see where grandma has changed her body? At most, she is just imitating you, retreating to advance. Tell me, she was careful to retreat too much, and she retreated into a pit. Inside, I can’t climb up anymore.”

Xin Nian smiled and said: "This is impossible."

"Why is it impossible? My eldest aunt is the prince's biological sister, and now all the prince's family property is in her hands."

"So what? She is just the prince's sister after all. As the saying goes, a married daughter throws water away. Although I always regard this as fart, this is the rule. If the aunt and grandma in this backyard can only Keep one, who do you think the prince will keep?"

Aunt Gu was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized, she patted the table and said, "You still need to ask? Grandma has three children, and the eldest aunt's child is not named Gu."

"That's right." Xin Nian stroked the tea cup and said with a smile: "Don't be complacent, aunt. This situation doesn't need to be long. It will last for another two months. By then, grandma will be so pressed by her that she can't lift her head up. With her After the children go and cry in front of their ancestors and the prince, it is time for the eldest aunt to take the children and leave the palace." "That's right, it's not true that the eldest sister-in-law who has not returned to her parents' home in Potian has driven away the prince's wife and flesh and blood. Chaojiu?" Aunt Gu nodded repeatedly: "It seems like what you said is true. Grandma has received guidance from an expert."

Xin Nian let out a long sigh of relief and murmured: "This dispute will finally come to an end."

Aunt Gu smiled and said: "I'm afraid that grandma is so powerful that after taking care of my eldest aunt, she will take care of you next. How will you deal with it then?"

Xin Nian raised his eyebrows: "How should I deal with it? How should I deal with it? There was a concubine behind my grandma back then. I was able to say hello to her, but now she is left alone and I am afraid of her?"

Aunt Gu smiled and said, "What I'm afraid of is that grandma and Madam Yao will join forces."

Xin Nian sneered and said: "Isn't Madam Yao one of my eldest aunts? What's more, Madam Yao is really favored. The first person who hates her so much is grandma. I only need to stand still in Qingliang Pavilion, and I'm afraid they won't fall out?"

"After all, it's just like sitting on a mountain and watching a tiger fight, right? Don't tell me, this trick seems to be really useful. If you do anything else, repeating the same trick will have no effect."

Aunt Gu nodded in admiration, and heard Xin Nian smile and say: "The reason why it worked this time is because of the personalities of grandma and Madam Yao. We know grandma, but Madam Yao, think about it, she can dance in front of me Get off the bridge and frame me, what kind of fuel-saving lamp can you use? So if my aunt goes, the remaining two people don't need us to provoke them, they will be able to fight by themselves in a short time. "

"That's not necessarily true." Aunt Gu touched her chin: "The prince has not spent the night in Yuehua Pavilion until now. Those women and girls who secretly placed bets have lost a lot. You said that our prince is quite tolerant, so Chuchu Poor old lover is right in front of him, how can he hold back his words?"

Xin Nian couldn't hold it back and laughed: "What are you saying, is the prince a pig? Anyone can talk about it. That's all, don't talk about this, come here and help me pick two pieces of fabric. It's the Mid-Autumn Festival. Then the weather got cold, and I was thinking of making two sets of quilted robes for each of Brother Chen, Brother Feng, and Liu Zai Yaya, but I couldn’t make up my mind.”

After saying that, he took Aunt Gu to the back room and saw more than a dozen pieces of brocade on the table, so the two of them threw away everything else and focused on discussing.

******************
The Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, and many chrysanthemums planted throughout the house are in bloom.Aunt Qiu came out of Liao's room and took a greedy look at the dozens of kinds of chrysanthemums placed outside the courtyard door. Unexpectedly, she met Yao Yutong.

"It turns out to be Aunt Qiu."

Yao Yutong stepped forward with a smile, and Aunt Qiu suddenly remembered what Zhang Lang had said. Her face changed greatly, and she couldn't help but take a few steps back, and then said with a forced smile: "Ms. Yao, please come and say hello to grandma. What?"

"No, I just came out from my aunt's house and saw the beautiful chrysanthemums outside grandma's courtyard, so I came over to take a look."

Yao Yutong came to Aunt Qiu, looked at her indifferently, and said leisurely: "Speaking of which, I have lived in this mansion for a few months. Most of the others are old acquaintances from the past, and they are very familiar with each other. Only Auntie, now she is actually I haven't even spoken a few words. I wonder if Auntie has time to go to Yuehua Pavilion to sit for a while? I'm bored every day and want to find someone to talk to."

The weasel greets the chicken with New Year's greetings, uneasy and kind.

Aunt Qiu's first reaction was this. However, when she thought of Zhang Lang and that she was already under the control of others and had no right to refuse Yao Yutong, she could only take a deep breath and said with a smile: "I just want to find someone to chat with. Since I invite you, I dare you." Not obeying your orders?"
